Evangalista must have had an accomplished ameture career maybe because right out of the gate he fought and beat guys with many fights and mostly winning records. He wasn't a bad fighter, pretty good actually. I think he would beat Bey. He did nothing to earn that number 3 ranking though
Yeah, Evangelista was put in fairly deep, at least at a European level, right off the bat. He fought Alberto Lovell in his second fight, Neville Meade, Bepi Ros, Jose Urtain, Mario Baruzzi, Rudi Lubbers, Lucien Rodriguez, and Lorenzo Zanon - his only loss, in his first 16 fights.
